My service record is messy.

So in Halo 3 theres 2 HUD's - Spartans and Elites. In ODST, there is one HUD. I was thinking that, going on the idea that there will be armor permutations in Reach, the HUD should change according to the helmet you have on.

Also, I would like to see if the color of the HUD could be modified as well, from the appearance menu or something. Like how the ODST HUD is yellow and the Spartan HUD is blue, maybe make it so you can get a full white HUD, or black, green, orange, etc.

This is going a little far but what also would be cool is the ability to actually modify the HUD. Maybe you want the grenades on the top right instead of the top left, or the shield bar on the right or left instead of the top.

This would help add more customization and individuality to how a player views the world.

Comment/edits/extra ideas are appreciated.

My beat downs turn into burns.

I think your mask should be breakable so you can lose you HUD when hit

I think the Color should remain relative to whichever Model you may have.

Customization of the location of different things would be nice too.

Maybe a special HUD for the infected too?

All you need is a well placed grenade :)

It would of been interesting to see the HUD change to the helmets on HALO3 multiplayer. But if anything a power drain/PP should knock out your HUD, now that would be cool.

Oh I forgot,

Some HUD damage effects.

From ODST's Bloodshot look, and Damage pixelization.
To Star Wars: Republic Commando's Blood Splatter, and Cracks.
Just to drive in the feel of taking Damage.

on that idea apparently i've heard the beta radar jammer actually scrambled your radar.

Different HUDs with different helmets would be cool, but how would you make them ALL look different?

Color customization for the HUD would be great. Also, additions to the UI such as a countdown timer for multi-kills added above the medals section would help a LOT for multi-kills.

There should also be options for left and right handed players to change the orientation of HUD icons to suit the preferences of the player.
